This Stunning Woodhouse In Middle of Nowhere Will Make You Pick Uttarakhand As Your Next Getaway

Nainital is a place we all know from our childhood in India. Most of us have spent quite a few summer vacations here. But as we grew up, we rejected this beautiful hill station in favour of other destinations such as Kasol and McLeod Ganj. While there is no dearth of places to explore in India, sometimes my heart wants to go back to Nainital. If you are like me, and want to experience the charm that this place had, without the crowds, you would want to consider Woodhouse Farm.

This property is located in Satoli village, 45km away from Nainital in Uttarakhand. Nainital is just 350km away from Delhi, making it an ideal quick-getaway destination for the weekends.
